03x104 - The Little Roommate

[bunniefuu]

The Little Roommate

Don't let them escape!

This time, we'll catch Nezumi in the act!

We have to get the jewel back!

Damn thief!

I'll capture him, ya know!

They say Nezumi's very sly.

He never leaves any incriminating evidence behind.

Then we'd better not underestimate him.

And that's why the Leaf Police Force requested our assistance.

Over there!

Let's go!

Hold it!

What the—?

Where's Nezumi?!

I was so sure we'd cornered him!

He has to be one of them here.

Take all of them into custody!

Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

What's the big idea?! Hey, lemme go!

Hey, we've got nothing to do with this!

Then cooperate with our investigation.

We think a jewel thief has snuck into this group.

Jewel? What are you talking about?

I don't know anything.

Once you're cleared, we'll let you go.

But before that, you'll undergo questioning.

Take them away!

Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

C'mon, stand up!

I didn't do nothing!

C'mon, take it easy!

Calm down!

Nezumi has to be one of them.

So, I guess this means, mission accomplished?

I guess so.

I wonder if this kitten got lost and separated from its mom?

It's tiny!

This isn't good.

Why?

We can't just leave it here!

It seems lost and it's shaking! Poor thing!

I can't have pets at our house, so

Huh? Me?

I can't just take it home tonight

I'd have to ask my mom first.

If you can't take it, we'll have to find someone who can.

And that meansMitsuki!

Could you take it home for the night?

I got it.

Okay, here!

Hey now, you shouldn't be mean to a kitten.

Be mean?

Is that your cat?

No, I'm just taking care of it for a little bit.

I see.

Even so, do try to be a bit gentler.

Huh?

I'm not saying you shouldn't hold a cat by the nape of its neck.

But that kitten looks very frightened.

So, hold it in your arms.

I wonder if Mitsuki will be okay?

He'll be fine.

I mean, it seems like Mitsuki's never handled

anything other than snakes, so

I think you should've taken the kitten, after all.

If I get Himawari on my side,

I'm pretty sure Mom and Dad will say it's okay

I hope Mitsuki can take care of the kitten by himself.

You worry too much!

Is it hungry?

LEAF POLICE FORCE

What?!

None of the four had the jewel in their possession?

No.

There's no mistake we drove him into that alley.

One of them has to be Nezumi.

That's what I believe too.

However, since we couldn't find the jewel,

we have to release them for lack of evidence.

So once again, we couldn't take him into custody.

I'm not giving up!

I swear we'll get Nezumi!

Damn it, that was annoying!

Damn right!

Getting arrested when we didn't do anything?

It's horrible!

We'll find proof.

He'll give himself away in time.

For now, don't let those four out of your sight.

Sir! Sir!

THUNDER BURGER

THUNDER BURGER Did you see the news this morning?

All four of the men we caught were released!

They were searched,

but none of them had the jewel on them.

That's really weird.

It's almost like a magic trick.

By the way, where's the kitten?

It's at my house.

How did it go at your house, Boruto?

Did you get permission to keep the kitten?

About that

Can you keep it at your place a little longer, Mitsuki?

Let me guess, you can't keep it either?

It's not that.

I forgot that Mom and Himawari went to visit Grandpa yesterday.

They'll be gone for two or three days.

I see.

Oh, did you give it a name, Mitsuki?

A name?

Yeah, you should give the kitten a name.

Okay, I'll think about one.

Are you leaving?

No, I was going to buy a hamburger.

You're gonna eat it?

No, I'm going to buy it before I leave,

so the kitten can eat it.

What?! No!

You can't feed human food to a kitten!

What?

Is your kitty a boy or a girl?

Uh

I wonder where it went?

Oh, did you give it a name, Mitsuki?

A name?

Yeah, you should give the kitten a name.

Mikazuki

Can I name you Mikazuki?

From today, you are Mikazuki.

You're so fickle.

You ate so much yesterday.

What's wrong?

You don't feel well?

Damn it, then you should take care of it.

I would, if I could.

But I can't since my building doesn't allow pets.

But Mitsuki seems to be doing a pretty good job with the kitten.

Anyway, whether it's Mitsuki or you that gets to keep the kitten,

I'm fine if I get to dote on it sometimes!

You win either way!

Hey, Mitsuki's late.

Then let's go get him.

PHARMACY

Medicine!

PHARMACY

It's not feeling well.

I'm sorry.

We don't carry medicine for animals.

HOSPITAL

The hospital!

It's in a lot of pain

I'm sorry. This isn't a veterinary hospital,

so we can't examine this kitty.

Hold on a minute. I'll see if there's a vet nearby.

We had a map somewhere.

Oh, here it is!

Okay, I'll give you directions.

Yes.

First, go out to the main road. Keep walking and

And once you turn this corner, you'll see it right in front of you.

All right, thank you very much!

Mikazuki?

Huh?

Wasn't that? I'm sure it was—

Boruto!

Did something happen?

Did you see a guy carrying a pet carrier around here?

Oh yeah, just a little bit ago. He went that way

Mitsuki?!

Someone took Mikazuki!

I have to get him back!

They're so dumb.

You're not getting away.

Return Mikazuki.

Return? This is my cat!

You're lying.

If it was really your cat,

you wouldn't be treating it so roughly.

I don't have time to waste on you!

Damn it!

You were one of those four men.

I can't believe it was you!

You're not getting away this time!

Now, return Mikazuki!

If you want it back so badly, fine, I'll give it back!

After I cut open its belly!

It's all right now, Mikazuki.

I'll take you to the hospital, okay?

Hey, Mitsuki?

Damn it!

Nezumi!

I'm taking you into custody!

Where's your evidence?

That kitten.

You made that kitten swallow the jewel, didn't you?

We've been keeping an eye on you ever since you were released.

You gave yourself away.

What a terrible thing to do to a little kitten!

It's unforgivable!

I leave the kitten in your hands!

Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

LEAF VETERINARY HOSPITAL

Mikazuki!

Don't worry, it's all right now.

It'll be up and moving by tomorrow.

Thank you so much!

Its name is Mikazuki?

Yes.

So, it was your cat, after all!

I'm so glad.

You're totally feeling better now.

Mikazuki!

You're so fickle.

What?! It disappeared?

Yeah. Its parent came and they left together.

I see.

You're gonna be so lonely.

Why?

Well, you really loved it, didn't you?

It doesn't bother me.

After all, Mikazuki will be happier being with its parent, right?

Mikazuki!

Did you come to visit me?

I'll keep this open, so you can come visit me anytime.

You're really quite fickle, aren't you?

Mitsuki, you coming here on your own is unusual.

I don't feel well.

Has anything unusual happened lately?

I've been having lots of dreams

Dreams about the first time I saw a photo of Boruto.
